Using User Input As Part Of A SELECT Statement

Jun 16, 2004

I know this is an easy one and I know I've read it somewhere, but I can't seem to write the correct format to run correctly. I am trying to build a SELECT statement base on the selected values of a dropdown list on a webform. The selected values will be part of the Table name.. ("client_info" & location_option.selecteditem.value) Can someone show me the correct syntax for adding a form variable into a SELECT statement? Thanks

Return Variable Name As Part Of Select Statement.

Mar 9, 2008

hey all,

I have the following query:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectMostRecentArticle]

AS
BEGIN

DECLARE @article_id INT
SELECT @article_id = (
SELECT TOP 1 article_id
FROM article
ORDER BY article_id DESC
)

DECLARE @comment_count INT
SELECT @comment_count = (
SELECT COUNT(comment_id)
FROM comment
JOIN article ON article_id = comment_article_id
GROUP BY article_id
HAVING article_id = @article_id
)


SELECT TOP 1 article_id, article_author_id,
article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_id
article_author_ip, author_display_name,
category_id, category_name--, comment_count AS @comment_count

FROM article

JOIN author ON author_id = article_author_id
JOIN category ON category_id = article_category_id

GROUP BY article_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date,
article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_ip,article_author_id,
author_display_name, category_id, category_name

HAVING article_id = @article_id

END
GO

as you can see, im trying to return a comment_count value, but the only way I can do this is by defining the variable.

I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id.

But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id.

And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment...

unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement?

Cheers

Excluding Part Of Select Statement If No Data Is Returned In Results

Aug 22, 2006

I have a query that returns results based on information in several tables.  The problem I am having is that is there are no records in the one table it doesn't return any information at all.  This table may not have any information initially for the employees so I need to show results whether or not there is anything in this one table.
Here is my select statement:
  SELECT employee.emp_id, DATEDIFF(mm, employee.emp_begin_accrual, GETDATE()) * employee.emp_accrual_rate -
(SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken
FROM request) AS daysleft, employee.emp_lname + ', ' + employee.emp_fname + ' ' + employee.emp_minitial + '.' AS emp_name,
department.department_name, location.location_name
FROM employee INNER JOIN
request AS request_1 ON employee.emp_id = request_1.emp_id INNER JOIN
department ON employee.emp_department = department.department_id INNER JOIN
location ON department.department_location = location.location_id
GROUP BY employee.emp_id, employee.emp_begin_accrual, employee.emp_accrual_rate, employee.emp_fname, employee.emp_minitial,
employee.emp_lname, department.department_name, location.location_name
ORDER BY location.location_name, department.department_name, employee.emp_lname
 
The section below is the part that may or may not contain information:
  SELECT (SELECT SUM(request_duration) AS daystaken
FROM request) AS daysleft

 
So I need it to return results whether this sub query has results or not.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
TIA

Select Statement As Input Variable In Stored Procedure?

May 6, 2015

Is it possible to have an entire sql select statement as the input variable to a stored procedure? I want the stored procedure to execute the select statement.

ie.

exec sp_SomeFunc 'select * from table1 where id=1'

It may sound weird, but I have my reason for wanting to do it this way. Is this possible? if so, how do I implement this inside the stored procedure?

Lookup Transform Issuing One Select Statement Per Input Row

Oct 20, 2007

I am using the lookup transform with the following settings:

Reference table: Use results of an SQL query. The query retrieves the surrogate key and four business key columns from a dimension table which contains a few thousand rows.

Columns: business keys in the incoming data are mapped to the business keys in the reference table, and the surrogate key is looked up from the reference table.

Advanced: Enable memory restriction is OFF (and the other items on the Advanced tab are greyed out).

I assumed that this means that the lookup transform would cache all of the rows in the SQL query, and then perform the lookups against this cache. This is the behaviour that I saw when I was running the package in my local environment in the BIDS debugger.


However, a colleague was doing some profiling on our production database server, and noticed that the lookup transform is instead issuing a single SQL query for each row of input. Our production ETL server has many GBs of free RAM available (way more than enough to cache the contents of the lookup table in memory), and given that memory restriction is disabled, I don't understand why the lookup transform is behaving in this fashion. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I'm probably misunderstanding a key concept here.

Thanks,

Greg

Case Statement - Calculate No Of Days Based On User Input Start And End Date

Jan 5, 2015

I have to produce a report to calculate no of days based on user input start date and end date. I have tried to explain below.

say for eg: in the tables I have emp name
user 'Phani' started work from - EStart 20/11/2014EEnd 10/01/2015 - total days --datediff
within his work period he did different roles:

PhaniMarketing (prSt Date) 20/11/2014prE date (28/11/2014) Total 9 days
PhaniAdmin (prSt Date) 29/11/2014prE date (20/12/2014) Total 22 days
PhaniCRM (prSt Date) 20/12/2014prE date (10/01/2015) Total 22 days
Total days 53 Days

For this :

I calculated datediff + 1 and got sub jobs days BUT

say financial director wants to see Title of 'Sub Jobs' with 'Days' from 1st Dec to 31st Dec

so on paper I calulated as :

1-31 Dec 2014
PhaniMarketing NULL (Do not fall in Req Dt)
PhaniAdmin 20 (Deduct 2 days of Nov & calculated 20 days of Dec)
PhaniCRM 11 (Deduct 20 days of Nov and deduct 11 days of Jan so for Dec , we got 11 days)
Total days 31

HOW CAN I USE Case statement to calculate days for given start date and end date. I have to include all three totals, 1 for Job dates, 2, subjobs dates, 3 cal of days for a requested period.

Select Statement For User Pyramid

Oct 28, 2004

I have a user table for an organization that can best be described as a pyaramid. We are using the terms parent and child to define the relationship between users. Each user is a child under a specific parent; accept for the top person who is not a child under anyone. Each user can be a parent over many children.

User A has a parent - User B
User B has a parent - User C
User C has a parent - User D
User D has not parent

I want to do is create a select statement that would return all the parents for a particular user. For instance, if I ran the select statement for User A, it would return:

User A
User B
User C
User D

If I ran it for User C, it would return:
User C
User D

Ideas anyone on how I can accomplish this.

First Time SELECT CASE Statement User

Aug 31, 2006

Hi, I have created a login page (webform1) that enables me to enter my user number and password and if correct it re-directs to webform 2 where all data related to the usernumber that was entered in the login page, appears.  Now I want to be able to set different re-direct pages dependant upon different users as some may require more privileges then others. As for my query I have 2 types of users: staff and managers. I want to set the login page so that if staff logins in it goes webform 3 and if manager logins in it goes webform 4. My table in the Sql database is called Users & the fields are: unumber(pk), pwd, userRole, forename, surname.   I have been advised to use CASE statements, yet I do not know how to use them.

SQL 2012 :: Allow For User Provided Number Of Columns In Select Statement

Aug 20, 2014

I am currently trying to write a query that pulls a summation of item specific data from sales orders. For simplicity's sake, the column structure can be something like the following...

Item#,
PoundsDuringWeekNumber (this would be the current week number out of the 52 weeks in a year and the pounds of the item during that week)

However, those are not going to be the only 2 columns. The idea of the query is that the user would be able to provide the query a date range (say 2 months) and the columns would then morph into the following...

Item#,
PoundsDuringWeekNumber (current),
PoundsDuringWeekNumber(current - 1),
PoundsDuringWeekNumber (current - 2),
etc. etc.
PoundsDuringWeekNumber(current - 8)

Initial ideas where to create a function to execute the summation of the pounds during the date range of the week in question and execute it across the columns, but with the indeterminable number of columns, the query would not know how many times to execute the function.

Transact SQL :: Select Statement Not Working In User Defined Function

Nov 3, 2015

The select statement:

SELECT DATEDIFF(n , LAG(CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME), 1) OVER ( ORDER BY Date, Time ),
       CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME))
   FROM [DataGapTest]

Gives the right output:

NULL
1
1
3548
0

However, when I put the statement in a function, I get only zeros as the output. It's as if the lag and current value are always the same (but they are not of course).

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTimeInterval(@DATE date, @TIME time)
RETURNS INT
AS
  BEGIN
 DECLARE @timeInterval INT
   SELECT @timeInterval = DATEDIFF(n , LAG(CAST(@Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(@Time AS DATETIME), 1) OVER ( ORDER BY Date, Time ),
       CAST(@Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(@Time AS DATETIME))
   FROM dbo.[DataGapTest]
  RETURN @timeInterval

Excel XP Removes AS Part Of Statement

Dec 29, 2003

I am trying to help an individual with a MS Query.

In Excel 97 MS Query the script was written:

TO_CHAR(LABTRANS.STARTDATE, 'YYYY') AS YEAR

In Excel XP I can run an existing Query and it returns the data as expected, but when I view the query it is:

TO_CHAR(LABTRANS.STARTDATE, 'YYYY') AS 'YEAR'

However if I try to create a new query using XP MS Query then the AS YEAR or AS 'YEAR' will be removed by MS Query and my column header will now be:

TO_CHAR(LABTRANS.STARTDATE, 'YYYY')

Here are my examples:

MS Excel 97 Query

SELECT LABTRANS.LABORCODE, LABTRANS.REGULARHRS, LABTRANS.OTHRS, LABTRANS.OTSCALE, LABTRANS.STARTDATE, LABTRANS.TRANSTYPE, VALUELIST.VALDESC,
TO_CHAR(LABTRANS.STARTDATE, 'YYYY') AS 'YEAR'
FROM MAXIMO.LABTRANS LABTRANS, MAXIMO.VALUELIST VALUELIST
WHERE LABTRANS.TRANSTYPE = VALUELIST.VALUE
AND (LABTRANS.TRANSTYPE IN (SELECT VALUE FROM VALUELIST WHERE LISTNAME = 'LTTYPE' AND MAXVALUE = 'NON-WORK'))
AND LABTRANS.LABORCODE IN (SELECT LABORCODE FROM LABOR WHERE LABOR.TYPE = 'CUPE' AND LABOR.CREWID IS NOT NULL AND LABOR.LA9 = 'N' AND LABOR.LA16 = 'WW' OR LABORCODE = '210308') AND VALUELIST.MAXVALUE = 'NON-WORK' ORDER BY LABTRANS.STARTDATE

MS Excel XP Query

SELECT LABTRANS.LABORCODE, LABTRANS.REGULARHRS, LABTRANS.OTHRS, LABTRANS.OTSCALE, LABTRANS.STARTDATE, LABTRANS.TRANSTYPE, VALUELIST.VALDESC,
TO_CHAR(LABTRANS.STARTDATE, 'YYYY')
FROM MAXIMO.LABTRANS LABTRANS, MAXIMO.VALUELIST VALUELIST
WHERE LABTRANS.TRANSTYPE = VALUELIST.VALUE
AND (LABTRANS.TRANSTYPE IN (SELECT VALUE FROM VALUELIST WHERE LISTNAME = 'LTTYPE' AND MAXVALUE = 'NON-WORK'))
AND LABTRANS.LABORCODE IN (SELECT LABORCODE FROM LABOR WHERE LABOR.TYPE = 'CUPE' AND LABOR.CREWID IS NOT NULL AND LABOR.LA9 = 'N' AND LABOR.LA16 = 'WW' OR LABORCODE = '210308') AND VALUELIST.MAXVALUE = 'NON-WORK' ORDER BY LABTRANS.STARTDATE

In Excel XP, no matter what I put in the AS part of the statement when I execute the script it runs and removes the AS part from the statement. This only happens when I run the script from MS Query, if I stay in Excel and just refresh the data, then it works fine.

I did not have this problem in Excel 97.

Any suggestions?

User Input - SQL Paramaters

Dec 18, 2007

 Hi, Just wondering if I could make sure that "hackers" don't tamper with my querystring - which is a parameter for a SQL query. i.e...  Dim ListOfValues as string = request.querystring("listOfValues")

'Output would be this: 324234,5445,554654,45632,SQL command :  Delete From table where product_id IN (@ListOfValues)

cmd.paramaters.addwithvalue("@ListOfValues", ListOfValues ) 



How can I validate it so that hackers can't add any characters other than 'numbers' and ' , ' to the sql parameter? I have tried to tryparse the 'ListOfValues ' as an integer - by replacing "," with "" but an integer overflow occured. Any questions or ideas? Thanks

User Input In SQL Query

Nov 24, 2004

Hi,

I am new to ASP.NET so pordon me if my questions seems to be stupid.

I was given an assign to develop a ASP that would return results from a SQL server.

The problem is that part of my query to the SQL server comes from the webform


select a.invnum, a.invdate, a.duedate, a.invamt,a.payamt from vpshead a inner join vendors
b on (a.vendnum = b.vendnum) where (a.vendnum = " & user.text & " ) and (b.vendpass = "
& Pass.text & " ) and (a.payflag <> 'V') and ( (a.invamt <> 0) or (a.payamt <> 0) )and (a.chkno = '') order by a.invdate"



As your can tell I am using the user.text and Pass.text in my query which will come from the web form.

I know this is wrong but how else can I do it?

Thanks

Pull Between 2 Dates From User Input

Feb 14, 2007

 I want to pull dates from my database that are between to set dates i have written a query that does this which looks like this:
"SELECT OCH_ID, empno, Selected_OCD, Start_Time, End_Time, Selected_OCDay, Selected_DOM, Selected_Month, Selected_Year FROM dbo.ICT_On_Call_Hours                           WHERE (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) >= CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('12/02/2007', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('12/02/2007', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('12/02/2007', 4))) AND (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) < CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('14/02/2007', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('14/02/2007', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('14/02/2007', 4)))"
This works when the dates are included in the statement but when i try and use parameters to pull them in like this:
"SELECT OCH_ID, empno, Selected_OCD, Start_Time, End_Time, Selected_OCDay, Selected_DOM, Selected_Month, Selected_Year FROM dbo.ICT_On_Call_Hours                           WHERE (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) >= CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('@Choice1', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('@Choice1', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('@Choice1', 4))) AND (CONVERT (datetime, LEFT (Selected_OCD, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Selected_OCD, 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT (Selected_OCD, 4)) < CONVERT (datetime, LEFT ('@Choice2', 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING('@Choice2', 4, 2) + '/' + RIGHT ('@Choice2', 4)))"
I then recieve the following error message why is this?
ERROR ------------------->  Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Search Based On User Input

Jul 25, 2007

I have a search page that allows users to type/select values contined within the entry they're looking for. My SELECT statement returns columns in a table that get compared to the user input. So if someone selected Status (Open) then all of the 'Open' Request entries should populate the search page. How do I phrase the SELECT statement to compare values if the user gives them, but ignore the fields where no data was input when it's searching? So a search where no values were entered would return every Request Entry instead of an error; no entry.
Thanks!

User Input In Query Analyzer

Hi folks, i am lookin for an option in the QA to take user input while executing a query. just like we do in SQLPLUS:
SELECT * FROM dept WHERE deptno=$abc
here it would ask me for the deptno. I guess it's a very handy feature and we could test our variables and calculations withing the procedures etc.

Is there a way, or any substitute?
